“I don't understand the feeling of, the way people speak of writing as though it were, like, some kind of djinn to be summoned or like it's the Loch Ness monster or seeing a shooting star. It's a physical act. It is a thing you do with your muscles and your body and your willpower. Watch, I'll show you: get a piece of paper. Get a pencil. Put the pencil on the paper and write the word 'something.'” PeopleWayWritingKindBookShowsFeelingsBodySpeakStarsWatchesPiecesSeeingPaperYour BodyMonstersComicShootingMusclesComic BookPencilsWillpowerShooting StarLoch Ness Monster Author:Matt Fraction
“The Nazis, for him, are merely available movie tropes--articulate monsters with a talent for sadism. By making the Americans cruel, too, he escapes the customary division of good and evil along national lines, but he escapes any sense of moral accountability as well.
